Open Water

the tourists are coming, the tourists are coming. lock yourself in the car and behold new Wand, Beak>, Ride and more. leave the engine running just for a little extra bass.

first 30 = a packed trunk full of high-energy indie jams to scare off the IRS. second 30 = Lauren Ruth Ward talkin’ & singin’ & hangin’. and it’s all cuz you showed up.

hey, I’ve been painting the house. and there are times when not all of the windows in the room were open. so that spirit & mindset finds its way into tonight’s proceedings. won’t be the last time.

we’ve raised the funds. now you see what we do with the money. regrets?

back from Austin and comin’ in hot. new Goon, Low Life, Beach Slang and so much more of that crunchy peanut butter you love, and secretly share with the dog.

it’s a pre-tape, so that I can go to Austin next week and eat vegan BBQ. and watch 100 bands. I start by leaving you with Nothing, which is something I’ve been known to do.

seems I could dedicate the show to a fallen musician every week. let’s do this one for Sara Romweber. new stuff from Go-Betweens frontman Robert Forster, more from Down Under, and some cherished pre-Talk Talk nuggets. safe to dive.

it can’t be Nashville every night… we start out with some bumps, but get the train back on the track with a little help from Royal Trux, POZI, Pom Poko and Sleaford Mods. and it ends, fittingly, with silence. (miss you most of all, Mark H.)

one man’s false start is another man’s glimpse into the not-too-distant future. another perfect show, right from the jump. tonight we learn about patience in all its brilliant hues.

it’s all love all the time. sometimes smells like lust, though. and plaster.
